Hey there,

Electrolysis is the process of decomposition of an electrolyte when electric current is passed through either it's aqueous solution or molten (fused) state.

Faraday's first law of electrolysis: the amount of chemical reaction which occurs at any electrode during electrolysis by a current is proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte.

m=Z*I*t

Here Z is electrochemical equivalent.


Faraday's second law of electrolysis: Amount of various substances liberated by the same quantity of electricity passed through the electrolytic solution is proportional to their chemical equivalent.

W1/E1=W2/E2

Hope it helps!
